I was brought a Compaq GM5072 to fix about a month back. The HD was OK so I was able to grab the guys info and put it into a loaner machine I made for him. No sweat there, he needed to do his taxes, couldn't get to his invoices.
So I ordered a new Motherboard for the system, from a guy on Ebay. The replacement MBs for this thing are priced up to 300 bucks! I found one for 84 bucks, ordered it, CPU bad as well! So I ordered a new Socket 939 CPU for it. NO DICE. I bring em both down to the local Computer shop, both items tested out bad. It's too bad it was a fine fast system when it was brand new.
The seller never responded to my emails about it. I do have one day left to ship the MB back, a few days more for the CPU.
I've been fixing puters since 1995, and I've dealt with all kinds of hideous issues. This was one of the worst! The Bear, totally and unequivocally, ate my arse off!
